make USE_NSEC work as expected
Since the filesystem ext4 is now defined as stable in Linux v2.6.28,
and ext4 supports nanonsecond resolution timestamps natively, it is
time to make USE_NSEC work as expected.
This will make racy git situations less likely to happen. For 'git
checkout' this means it will be less likely that we have to open, read
the contents of the file into RAM, and check if file is really
modified or not. The result sould be a litle less used CPU time, less
pagefaults and a litle faster program, at least for 'git checkout'.
Since the number of possible racy git situations would increase when
disks gets faster, this patch would be more and more helpfull as times
go by. For a fast Solid State Disk, this patch should be helpfull.
Note that, when file operations starts to take less than 1 nanosecond,
one would again start to get more racy git situations.
